Sukkot 2014

Part of Hebron's purpose is to provide a setting for us to keep YHVH's feasts and Sukkot is the highlight of the year.  People come and go as they are able but this small expression of Yeshua's body endeavour to honour YHVH and His ways and let the hills ring out with praises.

Our week together was filled with fellowship and fun, prayer and praise, love and laughter.  No one could ever accuse us of being ritualistic or highly traditional but our times of scripture, prayer and praise take pre-eminence during the week.

Commodore Sharkey spearheaded the inaugral pop-pop boat race and set a standard of excellence in nautical design.

The new barbeque area was finished during the week and we look forward to making good use of it over the summer months.  Neal and Yohanan celebrated their birthdays so the week was full of celebrations!

It is the wisdom of YHVH that the moed point to Yeshua the Messiah and the coming age where He will reign with justice and righteousness and torah will go forth from Jerusalem.  These times bring refreshing and allow us to focus once again on those things that are eternal and worthy.
Psalm 122
I was glad when they said to me,
“The house of YHVH! Let’s go!”
 
Our feet were already standing

at your gates, Yerushalayim.
Yerushalayim, built as a city
fostering friendship and unity.
The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of YHVH,
as a witness to Isra’el,

to give thanks to the name of YHVH.
 
For there the thrones of justice were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim;
may those who love you prosper.
 
May shalom be within your ramparts,

prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of my family and friends, I say,
Shalom be within you!”
 
For the sake of the house ofYHVH our God,

I will seek your well-being.

Where Your Treasure Is.....

Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another.  Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future.  This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months.  The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch.  This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...

Reflections

2 Samuel 7:18  Then King David went in and sat before YHVH, and he said, "Who am I, Sovereign YHVH, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?" There are times when it's good to look back and reflect on the journey thus far.  These moments highlight the provisions of YHVH, the encouragements of community, the lessons learnt and the growth we have experienced.  Who indeed is this little community family that YHVH would consider us and provide for us this way?  As part of this reflection of our Hebron journey I thought I'd pop up some photos of the journey - I think you'll be surprised when you look back at how the property looked when we first took ownership.  Some people have come and gone, goals and projects have evolved but what remains consistent is the original purpose and vision for Hebron.   From Anunaka to Hebron.  The previous name of the property was itself a sign to us, confirming the scripture that YHWH gave...
